Benefits of technology

The design ensures the reservoir remains compact and portable while preventing accidental unlocking during storage or transit, maintaining effective suction pressure and reducing the risk of premature lock release.

Problems solved by technology

However, since the suction apparatus disclosed in JP-A-57-81346 is made to release the lock means by folding a hinge portion of a plate, there is a possibility that the lock may be easily released due to external force even in a state where the suction apparatus is packaged or baled in transit or storage.
Further, since hooks provide on two plates are configured to engaged with each other, which is advantageous in terms of manufacturing cost and space saving, there is a problem that the hooks cannot be locked due to creep deformation after repeated use.

first embodiment

[0045]According to a body fluid suction reservoir of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, a fluid collecting port 5 is attached to pass through a bag 1, such that a drainage tube (not shown) kept in a patient is connected to the port 5. Preferably, the fluid collecting port 5 has a fluid collecting port one way valve 6 so that body fluid collected in the bag 1 does not flow back into a body cavity of the patient. In a similar manner, a fluid evacuate port 7 is provided to pass through the bag 1, and is provided with a lid 8 for the fluid evacuate port to be attached to the fluid evacuate port 7 during suction and collection (FIG. 3). Accordingly, when the suction and the collection are completed, the body fluid is evacuated by removing the fluid evacuate port lid 8 from the fluid evacuate port 7. As is understood from FIGS. 1 and 2, in a state before the suction and the collection of the body fluid, a spring 3, two plates (a first plate 11 and a second plate 12) holding the sp...

third embodiment

[0063]Thus, by constituting the first plate and the second plate by completely different components for each function, it is possible to constitute each part by a material suitable for each function, which makes it possible to broaden the width of material selection. That is, in the case of the third embodiment, since the springs 3 are supported by the core parts 42 and 44, it becomes possible that only the core parts 42 and 43 are constitute by a hard material.

second embodiment

[0064]Accordingly, similarly to the case of the second embodiment, it is preferable to use the engineering plastic such as polyacetal, filler reinforced plastic, fiber reinforced plastic and the like which have high elastic modulus and creep resistance, or metal such as aluminum or stainless steel as a material of the core parts 42 and 44, and to use plastic such as polyethylene or polypropylene having transparency and large breaking elongation as a material of the shell parts 41 and 43.

[0065]In the case of the third embodiment, since the core parts 42 and 43 support the springs 3, load in a direction vertical to surfaces of the plates does not directly act on the lock body 4 from the spring 3 and thus, it is possible to slide the lock body 4 on the second plate, smoother.

Abstract

The present invention provides a body fluid suction reservoir including a flexible bag, two plates for supporting the bag, and a spring put between the two plates. The body fluid suction reservoir further includes a lock having a hook and a release part and consisting of a member different from the two plates, by which lock the spring is held in a state compressed between the two plates, and the held state is releasable. The lock has flexibility and is held by one of the plates so as to be deformable from a first state in which the hook is engaged with the other plate to a second state in which the hook is not engaged, and the lock is urged to take the first state.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10 / 534,859, filed on May 13, 2005, which claims priority to PCT Application WO 2004 / 047886, filed on Nov. 26, 2003, which claims priority to JP 2002-346170, filed on Nov. 28, 2002, and JP 2002-363656, filed on Dec. 16, 2002, all of which are herein incorporated in their entirety by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present invention relates to a portable body fluid suction reservoir used to suck and evacuate body fluid from a wound cavity of a human body to improve the adhesiveness of tissue in the wound cavity, and thereby accelerate recovery.BACKGROUND ART[0003]Conventionally, it has been known to use a body fluid suction reservoir in order to suck in and evacuate body fluid from a wound cavity of a human body. In this case, one end of a tube is inserted into the wound cavity to evacuate and lead the body fluid, and the other end of the tube is connected to a suction ...
